Situated on a corner lot with a large fenced in private lot, this c. 1905 Stately Victorian 6 bedroom twin will win your heart before you even walk through the front door. Likely inspired by the famous architect George T. Pearson, you'll note the welcoming wrap around front porch, formal entry with charming "closet under the stairs" and main landing of the graceful quarter-turn stairs. The center hall opens into the spacious living room, formal dining room with original iron framed glass built in shelving, the powder room, and stunning brand new kitchen with master brand cabinets, floating shelves, Frigidaire Gallery appliances including 6 burner gas range, convection oven with air fryer, large French door refrigerator with ice machine, and lots of natural light. A shed addition is off the kitchen and opens to the rear garden, and makes a great mud room, gardening shed or additional storage space. The 2nd floor offers three spacious bedrooms and a traditional hall bath with original tile and clawfoot tub. The third floor also offers three bedrooms and full bath. This level used to be used as an in-law suite and could easily be converted back. You'll find gorgeous, original solid pine flooring throughout the house and tons of original character throughout, but owners lovingly made many modern upgrades. All of the wiring was redone with new 200 amp service. Brand new windows, high efficiency furnace, air conditioning and whole house humidifier. Laundry is in the basement and is unfinished with high ceilings and mechanicals. There is interior access from the basement to the attached garage. The yard includes a vegetable garden plot and carefully cultivated landscaping beds including butterfly plants, native wildflowers, blueberry shrubs, elder berry, June berry, black berries, perennial strawberries and crab apple tree, and a lovely patio perfect for outdoor dining. This home is just a short walk from two train lines, downtown Mount Airy and all the farmer's market, shops and cafes in Chestnut Hill. There is garage parking, but street parking is also plentiful.
